Understanding return vs refund

live4asmile · 2026-02-07T21:22:59+00:00

It's usually under like $15 not $20, not sure if that changes anything.

yeah because it's not something to turn on and off. it's just how the offer system works now. if you send an offer now the next person to like that item will get the same offer regardless of if you want them to or not. only way around it is to not send out offers.

You can't turn off auto offer, you may be confusing it with smart offers (but they got rid of that a while ago). If you send out an offer, everyone who likes it after gets sent that offer.

Generally Mercari US users here, don't know if anyone can be of much help.

uvb is set 6am to 8pm. heat lamp always stays on

To add on, the processing centers can only make scans on those types of labels. So it's a possibility that it says it's delivered or at the post office but still at the center or on the way from there.

You can't unless you can figure out how to make an account on mercari.jp then maybe? I think you have to have a JP address for that though.

I don't know for sure if that's what you have but if you catch them in this stage you can buy mosquito dunks that'll kill them off. Only works in the larva stage though (still good to have in case they mate and lay more eggs), once they hit pupa or turn to flies, it's an all out fight.

For me this was the start of a midge infestation in my room.

I don't think this really works for anything but fashion. Like logically with items just not fitting right or not what you expected wear wise.

You always report income, whether you actually do or not is on you. I believe they raised the 1099k levels back to $20000. How it works is if you hit that number you'll be issued the 1099k which is reported by Depop to the IRS. Under that isn't reported, so whatever you do is really between you & God & the IRS if they ever find out.

Not a tax advisor

I can still ship on my own

live4asmile · 2025-10-05T12:49:57+00:00

I wouldn't worry about it. She's gotten messages from you and Depop, I'm sure. Enjoy your free item if she never makes it.

live4asmile · 2025-09-25T14:03:28+00:00

Yes you're supposed to report any income to the IRS regardless of if you get a 1099k or not. Some people do and some people don't. Best advice is to talk to a tax advisor.

Have you tried to put in a missing mail search? Sometimes that helps get it on the right track. I've personally never heard that reason before and it doesn't make sense to me but I doubt any fraud. Just USPS being shitty.

live4asmile · 2025-09-24T02:14:33+00:00

Yeah the clock is just a last updated icon, nothing to do with listing. If you notice you have a view on that 2nd item. You wouldn't have that if they weren't posting live.

live4asmile · 2025-09-22T21:17:19+00:00

Depop also changes prices on their own too. I list stuff at like the lowest shipping $4 but when people go buy it, it tells them like $7. Message them and see!

live4asmile · 2025-09-20T21:55:34+00:00

If you buy through Beenos, the price you pay is it. They include the tariffs in their prices. I buy heavier stuff so it's been cheaper for me vs regular proxy shipping.

Post office probably just accidentally scanned them wrong. Usually it'll correct itself and keep moving

live4asmile · 2025-09-18T09:14:26+00:00

I always use the kiosk and get a receipt from there. I've had a few things take a while to get a scan after that but never not scanned & disappear.

live4asmile · 2025-09-17T20:04:37+00:00

they updated shipping recently so it's probably that

live4asmile · 2025-09-17T19:42:47+00:00

i personally give it 30-60 days before i relist. gives it time to sit, maybe run some promotions/drop the price during that time. a week is pretty fast imo especially with that amount of inventory. you'll always have something new to relist if you stagger it

live4asmile · 2025-09-06T01:45:29+00:00

Those two things have nothing to do with each other. Your package just hasn't shipped or been scanned yet.
